Match the equation of the parabola with the appropriate description.
-$$y + 6 = 2 ( x + 9 ) ^ { 2 }$$
A) Vertex at $( 6,9 )$
B) Vertex at $( - 6,9 )$
C) Vertex at $( - 9 , - 6 )$
D) Vertex at $( 9 , - 6 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the form $y - k = a(x - h)^2$, where $(h, k)$ is the vertex. Comparing, we find the vertex is $(-9, -6)$.

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description y+6=2(x+9)2y + 6 = 2 ( x + 9 ) ^ { 2 }y+6=2(x+9)2

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description $y + 6 = 2 ( x + 9 ) ^ { 2 }$
